I have to say it was one of the best wine tasting experiences I’ve had. We were working hard tasting the wine with the fabulous food pairings.  It is a challenge to taste, tweet, talk, and listen to the food and wine descritpions. It’s difficult to say which was may favorite, they were all so good. I have to narrow it down to the Thai Crab Cake with the 2007 Lachini Pinot Gris and the Pan Seared Flat Iorn Steak and Sauteed Prawns with the 2008 MollyDooker “The Boxer” Shiraz. Does anyone know why the Boxer on the MollyDooker lable has two left handed gloves on? I really enjoyed every pairing the Grand Cru had for us. You can see in the picture how hard we are working at Tasting and Tweeting.

Grand Cru is more of a Wine Bar with exceptional food with a focus on pairing the right food and wine for their customers. Their wine shop is right next door so if anything takes your fancy you can pick up a bottle on your way out.

The tasting was held outside at the gazebo at Willows Lodge. It was a great setting to sip many of their Pinot Noir’s. I think my favorite Pinot was the 2007 Cuvee’ Giselle, Chehalem Mountains. It was deceptively light in color but had a big flavor with white pepper.  They will also be having a tasting in Seattle on the 25th and Edmonds on July 11th.
